LightReadr
Turn your ebooks into audiobooks you’ll actually want to listen to.
Import the EPUBs you already own and either read normally or switch to natural-sounding narration mid-page. No robotic text-to-speech, no subscription, no account required.
NATURAL VOICE NARRATION
Choose from several natural voices. Every word highlights as it’s spoken so you can follow along. Tap any sentence to start narration right there; no scrubbing back to the beginning of the chapter.
ENTIRELY ON YOUR DEVICE
Narration is generated locally on your iPhone or iPad. Your books and the audio never leave your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS
Import EPUB files from the Files app. Five free public-domain classics come preloaded so you have something to read (or listen to) the moment you open the app.
MAKE THE PAGE YOURS
Adjust font, size, theme, margins, and line height—saved per book. Chapter navigation (when the book provides it) lets you jump around quickly.
RECAP SO FAR
On supported Apple Intelligence devices, get a short reminder of what’s happened in the book based only on what you’ve already read.
YOUR PLACE, EVERYWHERE
Reading progress, bookmarks, and settings sync across your devices through your own iCloud account; never through a LightReadr server.
Free. No account. No ads. EPUB only.
